The woman's weepiness and request to postpone learning about infant care indicates that she may be experiencing emotional distress or difficulty adjusting to her new role as a mother. This requires further assessment and intervention by the nurse before discharge can take place. The other behaviors are all appropriate and do not indicate a need for further intervention.
